Default Invalid Property Value error in UserForm combo box

Let me clarify.

I found the MatchRequired and Style properties, and I really want to keep
the MatchRequired set to true.

Is there a way to allow a blank entry in a field and still keep
MatchRequired as true?

I know I can change MatchRequired to false, and then write some code for the
AfterUpdate of the combo to test to see whether the entered value is in the
list that populated the combo, but would like to avoid this extra coding if
possible.

Thanks

I have several combo boxes on a user form that I am using to populate cells
in a hidden worksheet. After one of these combo boxes gets the focus, I am
unable to move the focus to another control on the form if I don't select a
value from the combo box. This error also occurs after I have seleted a
value from the combo an then gone back and deleted it.

The dialog box does not indicate a particular error number, and only gives
the OK button to exit. To move my cursor out of the control, I have to
escape out, which voids the other changes I have made to that "record".

I'm sure there is a property (AllowNulls) or something like that that I am
missing on these combo boxes, would someone please enlighten me?
